I can run my operations just fine. Why do I need Essential?

While you can run a successful business without Essential, the reality of rising costs due to inflation and a tight labor market have probably made growing your businesses harder than ever.

At the same time, history has shown us that technology can significantly boost productivity and profits. Just as the Internet has become necessary for all businesses, Artificial Intelligence is adopted at a rapid pace by more and more businesses every day. According to a recent study from researchers across the top business schools in the US, AI can boost productivity by as much as 40% (source).

Essential is a smart software platform that leverages the latest technology and software development practices—including AI—to bring world-class software to your business, helping you stay ahead of the curve.

Is Essential expensive?

Unlike most other software providers on the market, Essential offers a monthly subscription, a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, and free implementation. As a result, the time and financial investment for trying out Essential for your business is minimal.

Also, Essential is priced based on the direct value it delivers. As a result, Essential is one of the cheapest ways to grow your business. You can visit our Pricing page to learn more.

How are you better than other software solutions?

Before we started Essential, we were in your shoes, scouring the web and talking peers at other fire & life safety businesses to get their opinions on the best software to use. What we realized after spending hours of research was that all existing software solutions simply take a business's manual, repetitive workflows and put them into their software environment. The amount of clicking, scrolling, and manual data entry was significant, even for the most widely used and most expensive solutions.

So, we built something better, AI-powered software that actually takes busywork away from the team, freeing up 25-50% of their time to work on higher level responsibilities. Well-designed software that is easy to learn because it's intuitive to use.
